After one food-filled trip, they returned home to Martin, Tennessee and asked, \u201cWhere do you want to eat now?\u201d The answer was \u201csomeplace special.\u201d That\u2019s what their restaurant, The Grind, delivers. One way they do it is with their monster milkshakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to make The Grind an experience,\u201d Mark Laderman says. Mark, his wife Lisa and their son Alan are equal partners in The Grind and two other area sandwich shops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alan is the creative menu planner who always pushes to \u201cmake everything amazing\u201d and provide \u201cover the top\u201d customer service. His milkshakes are epic works of art.<\/p>\n<p>His idea of over the top is \u201cif a little bit is good, a lot is better.\u201d And his monster shakes are a real attention-grabber. Each milkshake-filled glass is piled high with eye-popping, colorfully sweet confections.<\/p>\n<p>Whipped cream and a cherry on top? Been there, done that. The Grind\u2019s shakes turn something simple into something spectacular. Such as the \u201cChocolate Freak Shake\u201d\u2014a chocolate shake rimmed with Coco Pebbles cereal and topped with a chocolate ice cream treat, chocolate whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate syrup and a cherry.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a shake called \u201cS\u2019more the Merrier,\u201d which is topped with marshmallows toasted at the table. Mark says the aroma evokes memories of nights around a campfire.<\/p>\n<p>This spring, The Grind whipped up a new creation for Peeps sake\u2014a shake topped with marshmallow peeps and pastel candies.<\/p>\n<p>The creative shakes have always been a hot seller. When The Grind first opened, there was a line out the door. One weekend, they served 150 gallons of milk shakes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Restaurant Snapshot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Operation: <\/strong>The Grind Mac &amp; Cheese Burger Bar<br \/><strong>Ubicaci\u00f3n: <\/strong>Martin, Tennessee<br \/><strong>Classification: <\/strong>Casual Restaurant<br \/>Number of seats: 98 inside\/70 patio<br \/><strong>Dayparts served:<\/strong> Lunch an dinner<br \/><strong>Check average:<\/strong> $50 (average table with two guests)<br \/><strong>Signature shake:<\/strong> S\u2019more the Merrier<br \/><strong>Owners:<\/strong> Mark, Lisa and Alan Laderman<br \/><strong>Total staff:<\/strong> 70 (40 front of house)<br \/><strong>Guiding philosophy:<\/strong> The American Dream is still alive.
